This is a really well made rpg, congrats! Unfortunately in the town where you find xemel, I came back in town from the zone with the fire monters to rest and then I couldn't go on anymore and I was stuck at the end of the road. It's a shame because the game is really good. I don't particularly like how you used the lie theme here, it's annoying when the controls don't do what you think, especially in an rpg and then after the first time you use an ability you know what it does so it is not a lie anymore. But this theme was not easy, especially if you want to make a game like yours.
For a game jam though is an impressive job. The graphics needs to be improved, even if you want to go with 2D pixel art style.
The music was nice and fitting, it is hard to recreate the feeling of the original JRPG's soundtracks.
There's an issue when you switch between characters in fight the arrow remains on the last item in the menu and doesn't resets on the first one.
Overall it is a relly good game!
It would be great if you'd check out our game too https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477069
